Longer term plan - not sure if it's likely to need PP?
Can't answer your question, but Cornwall Council have a lot of

I imagine a lot of the advice is pro forma, so your own council
probably has the same or similar advice information.

Still grey - but at least it's addressed.

I suspect that going down is less of an issue than going up in height -
but I really don't know how they think...

People dig ponds all the time and some of those can be "significant" -
in fact about 1/3 of the dig out will be going straight into a massive
old pond adjacent anyway.
